Xie Feng felt that they needed to make a change!
If our thoughts are not unified, we will forever live in a state of internal and external troubles!
After a pleasant conversation, Zang Tian decided to try to win over the other clan leaders.
Xie Feng and his companion were arranged to enter the imperial city and stay in the most luxurious guest rooms.
This is a spacious mansion.
Pushing open the door, Shi Yan looked at the magnificent building and furnishings before him and exclaimed, "Thank you, Young Master Xie, I'm really benefiting from your presence!"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this just a regular guest room?"
Shi Yan shook his head vigorously. "I never received such good treatment when I came to Star-Array Abyss before!"
Xie Feng asked, "So where do you live?"
Shi Yan indignantly, "I sleep on the streets!"
Xie Feng: "..."
He truly hadn't expected this kind of treatment...
"You can tolerate this?"
"There's nothing we can do, we can't beat them..."
"..."
Xie Feng once again looked up at the heavens in silence.
"Can't beat them... that's such a damn realistic reason!"
The Imperial Palace.
Zang Tian stood upright in the center of the gloomy hall, his right fist clenched at his waist, a thoughtful expression on his face, as if waiting for someone.
In one corner of the main hall, there was a huge hourglass, with fine green sand flowing rapidly down, constantly submerging the time markings on the outside of the bottle.
Time passed just like that.
Then a tall figure appeared outside the door. It was a woman, dressed in green and yellow, with a cool and aloof gaze, like a goddess.
The Third Brother said he had something to do and couldn't come.
The woman's voice was calm and composed, and her demeanor was not aggressive, yet she still gave people a sense of unapproachability.
Second Clan Chief, Yao Zhi!
Zang Tian snorted coldly, "That guy has always been against me. Who knows if he really can't come, or if he's just pretending!"
Yao Zhi remained silent.
Zang Tian had a headache and rubbed his temples. " Yao Zhi, I called you here to discuss something."
"Please speak."
"The battle at the front is critical; I need to reinforce our troops!"
"OK."
"I need 500,000 demon soldiers that I can freely deploy!"
"Can."
"Then let's sign the troop deployment order!"
Yao Zhi kept nodding in agreement, but Zang Tian wasn't particularly happy. He hoped for a quick victory and that signing the troop deployment order was his ultimate goal.
Yao Zhi frowned. "Did the Third Brother sign it?"
Zang Heavenly Dao, "Only if all three of us sign the troop mobilization order can the troops be transferred. So you sign first, and then I'll go find the Third Brother."
Of the three, Zang Tian advocated war, Dao Wuxin advocated peace, Yao Zhi remained neutral.
Zang Tian and Dao Wuxin inevitably became mortal enemies.
Therefore, whenever there is a problem, Zang Tian's first choice is to find Yao Zhi before tackling Dao Wuxin, that tough nut to crack.
Conversely, the Dao Wuxin also operates in this way.
Yao Zhi serves as a buffer zone, boosting their confidence.
However, Yao Zhi has her own ideas, and getting her to listen to her is no easy task.
Yao Zhi agreed to everything Zang Tian said, but when it came to practical matters, like signing a troop mobilization order, she stubbornly refused to sign it.
"This is a serious matter. Let's wait for the Third Brother to arrive so we can discuss it together."
"If you don't object to my sending troops, why won't you sign the agreement?"
"Whether to send troops is your right, and I will defend your right. Whether to sign is my right, and I hope you will defend my right as well."
"..."
Zang Tian nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
She's really mastered sophistry and wordplay!
"I don't like this kind of dawdling. Just tell me, how can I sign?!" Zang Tian's patience was wearing thin.
" Third Brother agrees, then I agree. Zang Tian, you know I don't like to take a stand."
Yao Zhi smiled faintly.
All that remained was the impotent rage that Zang Tian within his heart.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now..." Yao Zhi took a couple of steps, then suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "Did you find the Sword Dao teacher for the little guy that I asked you to find before?"
Zang Tian immediately deflated. " Sword Dao masters are not hard to find, but master-level ones are difficult to find. But your requirement is a grandmaster-level, which is even stronger than a master! My Demon-Burying Clan has never been particularly good at the sword... Your requirements are too demanding!"
Yao Zhi shrugged. "Okay."
Zang Tian said, "You need to lower your standards!"
"The little guy started practicing swordsmanship at the age of three, which is a very rare talent in Sword Dao. I don't want to bury his talent. His father has looked for many teachers, but unfortunately, none of them are very good."
"As a Demon-Burying Demon, he doesn't need to delve into Sword Dao, which he's not good at!"
"None of your business!"
"..."
One sentence left Zang Tian speechless.
"I've heard that humans have an unparalleled talent for weaponry. If you want to find a good Sword Dao teacher, you should agree with my philosophy and join me in conquering the Fifth Universe. Then, all the Sword Dao masters in the world will grovel before you, ready for you to choose!"
His eyes shone brightly, as if he could already see a bright future.
Yao Zhi shook her head slightly. "I will never condone the destruction of the entire Fifth Universe for personal gain."
Zang Tian curled his lip. "Then you'll never find what you're looking for in the Demon-Burying Clan!"
Yao Zhi glared at him. "I have money!"
Zang Tian spread his hands. "It proves that money can't buy a good teacher."
Yao Zhi stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
After venting his frustration with his words, Zang Tian suddenly regretted it. Now, Yao Zhi was even less likely to sign the troop mobilization order for him...
"Sigh, I'm better suited to simple and brutal methods like murder and robbery than to using eloquent persuasion!"
Zang Tian let out a deep sigh.
The mansion was very large, and Xie Feng and Shi Yan lived in opposite corners.
The reason for the great distance was that Shi Yan was worried that Zang Tian might do something underhanded. Adhering to the principle of not putting two eggs in one basket, their residences were kept as far apart as possible.
Xie Feng strolled around the mansion and discovered that the energy here was unusually dense, and there was even an extremely deep and cold spiritual energy.
After observation, he discovered that a cold icy vein was buried beneath the mansion, of slightly above-average quality. Xie Feng had no interest in excavating it, but was willing to absorb its energy to consolidate his cultivation.
"I don't know who taught them this, but they see something good and want to possess it. This kind of thinking is not advisable..."
Xie Feng inwardly berated himself, then sat cross-legged under an ancient tree and began absorbing spiritual energy.
People at the Saint Realm require an extraordinary amount of energy, which ordinary energy cannot provide; it can only serve to solidify their cultivation.
Wisps of energy swirled around, forming a thin cocoon. Abundant energy from all directions was drawn into the cocoon and then into Xie Feng's body, making his strength increasingly profound and stable.
Not long after, the air suddenly rippled, and a white rainbow streaked across the sky, heading straight for Xie Feng's face!
A chilling killing intent spread out!
Xie Feng opened his eyes, and a dazzling sword blade, like a rainbow, was reflected in them!
What attacked him was a sword!
Xie Feng remained unfazed, flicking his sleeve. With a clang, the longsword fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
A strange wind suddenly swept through the vast mansion!
